Indeed, but totally worth it. I once used 2 or 3 of them to create a literal Katana Fleet. 1000 (Yes you read that right 1000!!) Dreadnoughts strong. Of course I split them into several smaller fleets for the attack, usually led by 1 or 2 capitol class ships. Poor AI Empires never stood a chance. Nothing like seeing an enemy titan being blasted by 400 cruisers into oblivion!!!!

Also last time I checked the Starforge didn't obey the fleet caps, so you can break the game in a way!!!!

Well, i did have multiple crashes towards the end. But they may have been because I had probably over 1500 ships, plus every planet maxed out on building, defense (including mines) and as many neutral captures that I could find, including 4 Star Forges!!!

Very much hoping to see this in the remastered version!! with the combined abilities from HW1 & HW2 there should be quite a few of your old concepts like the drone frigate you posted that are now workable!!

That would make sense since Rebels takes place right after the foundation of the Empire. At that point in history most of the Imperial's vehicles and starships were former Grand Army of the Republic (AKA: The Clone army) issue....

If you preorder before by the 24th of February you get it 15% off on steam. Also the Collection includes both HW1 & HW2 remastered + the originals + access to the multiplayer steam beta (Note it's only beta because they basically had to redo the backbone of multiplayer since Gamespy is now dead, so They're not certain how the originals were set up so We're basically going to pound it and reveal what works and what don't!!)

Plus side, You can play epic Kushan Vs Hiigarns Vs Taiidan Vs Vayger all in the same match!!
